Command line instructions worked great for me as well. The Sitecom WL-113 USB adapter doesn't like the Network Wizards, but my connect script based on the instructions is working like a charm.

(suggestion: these instructions are invaluable to people that get stuck while trying to configure a wireless-only machine. Maybe they should be included in the documentation or in the Network Wizard help together with a couple of sample scripts ? )

Test installed to Intel 3GHz 4GBMem with wired connection from cd
perfect install and straight to net no probs whatsoever.
Even used provided menu and installed to usb stick with no probs and after setting bios boots fine.

I see that your configuration file is wpa_supplicant.conf. So let's check that your wifi router is using WPA encryption, right?
If it's set for WPA2 encryption, then your configuration file should be wpa_supplicant2.conf

And you have modified the configuration file to include your SSID and Personal Security Key, too?

Edited supplicant2 (with ssid and key/passphrase)
Issued commands 1 at a time and again
after the wpa_supplicant line it started unexpected output as it has from the beginning.

One thing of note, I do not like the distro, but CrashBang installs from start to finish without a hitch, finds wireless nets, lets me choose my own then all it asks for is the PSK which I give it and voila it is all connected.

I tried to follow the files as on puppy but I'm too much of a beginner at this and cannot see the simialarities to puppy.

Installed the latest to Celeron 400 processor/256M RAM/6.4G HDD-old eMachine 400ix eTower but should be plenty, right?
Linksys WMP54g adapter with 14e4:4320 (rev 03) -can't get it to work with B43 or B43Legacy; tried Ndiswrapper with Bcmwl5.inf Windows driver. No luck. I know this Broadcom chipset is a bugger for any Linux-I've been trying for years-it worked with Dreamlinux, and had the Linuxant driverloader with MepisLite up and running.
I'm trying and willing to learn, but this is getting old. I thought the latest Puppy had taken care of this...? Eager to "house-train" the Puppy, but need some guidance.
Any help greatly appreciated. Cheers,

Thanks for clearing that up tempestuous. Tried ieee80211_crypt_ccmp but no joy there.
I presume this will also be the case with BK's new pup 2.18 if/when he upgrades to kernel 2.6.18.8.
Still, pup 2.17 works fine with an upgraded net-wizard.

I have stated using the PuppyLinux 4.2.1
I am unable to connect to the Wifi network.
My PC is P3 1GHz Coppermine 256MB SDRAM 100MHz with Wireless USB Dongle: Buffalo WLI-U2-KG54
I am using CD Rom to boot the Puppy Linux.

At present the Puppy Network Wizard recognizes this device as
"usb:Buffalo WLI-U2-KG54" with "rt2500usb" as Module.

I have tried to use the Pwireless-0.8.4 from the Top menu.
It is able to show my wireless Lan and also the Encryption.
I use a WPA2 AES128bit encryption which requires me to enter a text password. When I click on Connect selecting the Wifi network, I get a prompt asking for WEP password. I give that correctly but still the IP address returned in a wrong or the default ones. My Wifi Router at present is behaving as a Bridge for my ADSL router connected to its WAN port.
Please help me out with this connection issue.
I am bad need to move on to linux and dump off my old Windows box to have some good use of it.
